With regard to the former, by simply screwing back the milled nut the bent nozzle head can be removed and all essential parts of the SUPPLEMENT TO JOGHT] turnbuckles, steel eyebolts, and metric bolts ; control levers (R.A.F. specification) and control wires ; steel title pins for yoke ends of turnbuckles ; brass water hose clips; thimbles ; canopy buttons and eyelets ; Two universal blow-pipes and the acetylene welding system blowpipe inspected. It is claimed that with this type of blowpipe back firing of (he flame is practically prevented so that periodical cleaning due to sooting up of internal parts is rarely required. The auto matic regulator will reduce the high and varying pressure of oxygen from the cylinder to any required low pressure from zero to 40 lbs. per sq. in., the maximum blowpipe pressure required. The adjustable screwed socket is graduated in lbs. per sq. in., and the regulator can be set by this means to any desired constant pressuie enabling the usual low pressure gauge to be dispensed with. Those who are thinking of installing such a system in their works will doubtless find it worth their while to send for a catalogue, which contains much general useful informa tion on the subject. British Petroleum Co., 22, FENCHURCH STREET, E.C. " FAMILIARITY breeds contempt" may be true in the general run of things but it certainly is not so with regard to "Shell" motor spirit, which is respected more and more by aviators and motorists as time goes on. It would be idle to dwell upon its merits, as they are so well known, and especially in view of the fact that practi cally every aviation record has been made by the aid of " Shell." Brown Bros., Ltd., GREAT EASTERN STREET, LONDON, E.C. IT would be impossible to enumerate here all the aero accessories supplied by this well-known firm, for it would not be an ex aggeration to say that practically any im- automatic regulator used in the Oxy- of the British Oxygen Co. piston rings ; twill, canvas and leather up holstery, with studs, banding and pipings ; hubs, spokes and nipples for wheel building ; accumulators in all types ; dashboard lamps for instrument lighting ; tumbler switches ; lamp holders; indestructible rubber petiol piping ; Brooks' B 170 saddles, suitable for armoured car work ; sparking plugs ; Gnome engine copper and asbestos washers, all sizes supplied to order; canvas water-carrying buckets (2-gallon); fabric brake lining in their well-known " Raybesto? " ; driving chains ; electrical fittings ; aluminium sheeting in all sizes and gauges ; brass and copper foil, sheet and strip; steel, brass, and copper tubing of all dimensions ; union diawn screw ing and cutting steel of every dimension, &c. Besides supplying most of the various aeroplane builders, they are contractors to the R.F.C., R.A.F., R.N.A.S., Central Flying School, &c. R. Cattle, 27, WYHERT STREET, STANHOPE STREET, LONDON, N. W. BESIDES supplying wood in the " raw " for aircraft, R. Cattle and Co., a firm of over forty years' standing, also specialise in finished parts, such as ribs, spars, struts (hollow or solid), fairings, &.C, all of which are machined up to exact size and section to pass Government inspection. They have a very fine wood-working plant—most of which has been designed and construc'ed by them selves—capible of turning out all kinds of Some aircraft fittings supplied by Messrs. Brown Brothers. portant accessory or fitting can be obtained from them, as the following selection will show :—Five - armed (aluminium centres) steering wheels ; aeroplane wheels and tyres ; work with the greatest degree of accuracy- It should also be noted that they carry a very large stock of silver spruce and ash specially suitable for use in the constiuction of aircraft. Cellon, Ltd., BROAD STREET HOUSE,. NEW BROAD STREET. THAT the slogan adopted by this run* with regard to its product, "The dope of proved efficiency," is no idle boast is shown by the fact that the demand for Cellon is continually increasing. Another confirma tion is also provided by the fact that several of the leading firms of constructors have arranged for a constant supply of Cellon to- be delivered at regular periods. Among the largest users of Cellon are the two British flying services. It is almost un necessary to add, therefore, that Cellon can be had to comply with the Government requirements as well as other grades to meet special needs. T. W. K. Clarke and Co., Ltd., HIGH STREET, HAMPTON WICK. MESSRS. T. W. K. CLARKE being now employed mostly on Government work, making acetylene welded and tinned fittings for various machines of R.A.F. design, are not making any special accessories of their own. They have, however, recently estab lished a separate works for propeller making which is now in full going order. Here they are in a position to undertake work for private firms, such as school or experimental propellers, in addition to turning nut pro pellers tos'andard designs, work in which they have had considerable experience in the past. R. W. Coan, 219c, GOSWEI.L ROAD> LONDON, E.C. IN their own particular sphere there is- perhaps no name that is better known throughout the length and breadth of the kingdom than that of Coan, who, as all the world is by this time aware, casts clean crank cases, not to mention innumerable other aluminium objects and parts connected with the automobile and aeronautical indus tries. It may be said that the work turned out by this firm is in quality and finish un surpassed, and that no job is either too small or too great for them to undertake. This is equally true of repair work, which indeed forms a large part of their commercial activities, while the latter, moreover, are no* by any means confined to the needs of the two industries above mentioned, the require ment of all tiades in this respect being catered for.
